1. A method, comprising:
- displaying a first image of a first application on a first display, wherein the first image is in focus, wherein input options for the first application are displayed in a first configurable area, wherein input is allowed from the first configurable area and the first display, wherein no input options are displayed in a second configurable area, wherein input is not allowed from the second configurable area, wherein input is allowed from a second display, wherein the first configurable area does not display content from an application, and wherein the second configurable area does not display content from an application;
receiving first input indicating a request to launch a second application;
launching the second application; and
in response to launching the second application;
displaying, by the second application, a second image on the second display; and
changing the focus from the first image to the second image;
stopping display of input options in the first configurable area, wherein input is not allowed from the first configurable area, wherein input is allowed from the first display; and

Abstract
Embodiments are described for handling focus when a gesture is input in a multi-screen device. In embodiments, a first image displayed on a first touch sensitive display of a first screen may be currently in focus. In embodiments, the gesture is a tap on a second touch sensitive display of the device. In response to the gesture, an application is launched, which displays a second image on a second display of a second screen. Focus is then changed from the first image on the first touch sensitive display to the second image on the second touch sensitive display.
